"police tell me they received two calls from residents in this neighborhood who were trapped inside their homes by a vicious dog, but that dog's owner tells me that police didn't have to kill it" "she would not harm anybody, she was a big baby, the most she would do is knock you down and lick you to death" TEASHA CARLTON SAYS HER DOG "LOLA" GOT OUT OF THE FAMILIES BACK YARD IN POCOLA. CARLTON SAYS SHE NEVER EXPECTED POLICE TO KILL HER PET. "I want to know why, what gives him the right to shoot my dog" "that was the only option that I saw available at that time" POCOLA POLICE CHIEF STEVE HOWARD SAYS TWO RESIDENTS CALLED, REPORTING THEY WERE TRAPPED INSIDE THEIR HOME BY A VICIOUS DOG. "when I went to get out of my vehicle the black dog became aggressive towards me, growling, barking, had the hair on the back of its neck and back standing up" HOWARD SAYS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC THEY KILLED THE DOG, BUT IT'S OWNER SAYS THAT WASN'T NECESSARY. "what it boils down to is they couldn't catch her so they got tired and they shot her" "the police chief tells me that while they don't have a full time animal control officer they do have ordinances that prohibit dogs from running the streets and as of right now as far as he's concerned the case is closed. Reporting tonight Brett Rains 40/29 news" THE DOG'S OWNER WASN'T ISSUED ANY CITATIONS. SHE SAYS SHE WILL NOTIFY ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TO HOPEFULLY PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE'S PET.
